Fabulous! It’s too bad that I probably won’t get a chance to teach any poetry in April since I’m there for such a short time. On the other hand, I will be teaching Eliot (“Prufrock” and “The Hollow Men”) with my AP seniors next week, so I’ll just do it a bit early.

Somewhat tangential: I’m surprised that “Do I dare disturb the universe?” is the line that would get picked up from “Prufrock” when there are so many other lines that are so much more memorable: “I do not think that they will sing to me”; “I have measured my life in coffee spoons”; and so forth. Perhaps that line is just more useful for a campaign. I am glad to see Eliot, one of the great modernist poets, receive his due, though.
